Introduction
As the propaganda war against Islam intensifies, the personality and conduct of our beloved Messenger صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم is coming under increasing scrutiny and attack from the kuffar. One area of focus for them is the marriages of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم.
The following discussion is based on a translation of the chapter ‘The Prophet’s Marriages’ from the book ‘The Social System in Islam’ by Sheikh Taqiudeen an-Nabhani. The book can be downloaded in Arabic from here and English from here.

The role of Muslim women in the Islamic world is one that is prone to much discussion and assumptions; unfortunately the discussion is more often than not a negative one. The most common perceptions are of women living under the oppressive dictatorships of their husbands and fathers, forced into marriage, and of course suffocated under the veil. In terms of her contribution and role in society the caricature is one of the woman restricted to five metres away from the kitchen sink.

 Sources of Islamic Law
The sources in Islamic law are primarily the Qur’an and Sunnah[1]. The Qur’an, the book held sacred by Muslims, contains approximately 500 verses dealing with diverse topics which are of a legal relevance. The Sunnah represents the repository of reports of sayings, acts and consent of the Prophet Muhammad. The role of the Sunnah is seen as an elaboration of the Quranic injunctions. There are other sources which derive from the two primary sources and they are the Ijma’ (legal consensus), Qiyas (analogical deduction) and other disputed sources but they are not relevant to the discussion at hand.

Nothing has received more vilification from commentators and writers then the issue of Islam’s view on women. Images of fully covered women, with veils across their faces, leap to mind whenever the western media discusses the issue. The treatment of women in any society has become a key benchmark measurement to its progress so when the Muslim world is assessed it miserably fails on the standard western tests ranging from the treatment of women to their involvement in society. This has led to a number of ferocious attacks on Islam that has led some Muslims to feel weary, embarrassed and unable to defend the Islamic viewpoint on this issue. This article will focus on how Islam deals with male-female relations and elaborate on some of its details.
